НазваниеTribe of Ephraim and Judah
ОписаниеMap, hand-tinted etching, Tribe of Ephraim and Judah, also known as Tribe of Benjamin in the Promise Land, from Dr. Thomas Fuller’s A Pisgah-sight of Palestine, London, 1869. The map, engraved in Waltham, Massachusetts, 1649, is as much biblical history as geography. It depicts, amongst other illustrations, Jerusalem and Jericho, the Children of Israel crossing the Jordan, and the Patriarch Jacob's dream of angels on the ladder ascending to heaven.
The Promised Land was initially divided amongst the twelve tribes of Israel. Asher, Benjamin, Dan, Ephraim, Gad, Isaachar, Judah, Manasseh, Naphtali, Reuben, Simeon, Zebulon – named after the sons of Jacob, the Patriarch who had his name changed to Israel after wrestling with and prevailing over an angel (Genesis 32).
